The Peninsula Group in Monterey Wine Country from AU$449

"The location is convinient, but place doesn't look as nice as on photos. The main problem is noise. I could hear everything above me and around me. I couldn't. As some people left early, I couldn't sleep anymore because it felt that they are walking in my room and the cars were worst. The stuff tried their best, but office closed till 9am. The water is not drinkable, even coffe tasted terrible, so bring your own"

"We asked for room service , we didn’t get room . The room needs more night stands , the mattress need to be alitttle bit more updated .. the light outside our room did not work .we had to request more pillows the bed had only 2 small pillow size of throw pillows . "

" I love the location. The property is basic and clean. You get the most bang for your buck here."

"The room was nice it was very close to Fishermans wharf and cannery row it a little dated but the stay was pleasant"

"It is obvious they are upgrading the property. We were very comfortable. Everything was wonderful. "

"When we attempted to check in the staff was rude and not helpful. The parking was very limited plus there was a big street festival that took up all of the street parking. We should have been notified of this but were not. Our room faced a busy street which was noisy all night. The promised breakfast didn't start until 8AM which is late for early risers. The one day we did get breakfast it was just coffee and some mediocre pastries. They promised some kind of yogurt parfait but it was late being prepared. They have signs in their bathrooms about ancient plumbing and saving water but to get hot water you had to run the water for an extended time. In summary, this place is not ready for prime time."

"Free Breakfast and 5:30 to 7:30 pm cocktails and nibbles were very good. We had the corner room which was excellent. Location distance to attractions in Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel are very good. What we didn’t like was the$20/night hotel parking charge as the parking lot does not have a security gate to enter and exit. We also did not like the $15/night Destination charge, which can be deducted if you purchase something in their gift shop."

"Staff is friendly. "

"There was many things to do within walking distance or a short drive. Made my trip much more enjoyable "
